Founding Fathers

Founding Fathers is a lightly aromatic blend built mainly on burley and black cavendish, supported by Virginia. The ribbon-cut mixture is given a pomegranate flavoring; Cornell & Diehl ties the fruit to its cultivation in the garden farms of Founding Fathers like Mount Vernon and Monticello in the eighteenth century.

The blend's color is a mix of brown and reddish tones; the tin note carries notes of coffee, syrup, and confectionery. On the smoke, burley dominates and delivers nicotine unusually pronounced for an aromatic, while the pomegranate sweetness stays in the background. It suits those who want the sweetness of flavored blends while avoiding a body-less smoke.
